Hello, can someone please suggest where I can go through all statistics concepts asked in GMAT (especially around topics such as mean, mode, median, standard deviation)?

to solve such questions, calculate the cyclicity of the unit digit. For e.g take 2. When you raise it to the power of 1,2,3,4 and so on the result is 2,4,8,16,32,64,.... so on... so you see here that the unit digit pattern repeats after every 4th iteration i.e. 2,4,8,6,2,4,8,6,2, .... the cyclicity is 4. This way you can check pattern for any number. In this particular question we are asked 3^7 * 2^8 * 7^22.
Thank you for explaining

Both statements are sufficient alone to answer

Deepihu
Both statements are sufficient alone to answer
A If Z is negative x+y will be positiive so values of x or y would be 1 hence avg will be lesser than zero
B if x+y is positive therefore z will be negative with value -2 or -1 and avg may be above zero or below zero
Therefore A alone is sufficient

I am not sure but IMO it’s A
Sorry, I had made a mistake. Instead of A it should be option D i.e. 24

1 st alone is sufficient
As 7*9 = x3 so unit digit will 9
Whereas in second it may be 1 or 6

As
X^2 - 5X + 6 = zero for x 2 and 3 ssme is RHS hence for all values => 2

2.5?

RHS is always positive. LHS also has to be positive.

2.5?
Try negative values also

134
Arrange in ascending values
X1 + x2 + x3......x7
X7= 4*x1 + 14
X4 median so x4 = 84
To maximise x7 values of x4 x5 x6 to be equal as avg is in left side of median
x1 x2 x3 all to be equal.
Final eq
3x1+ x7 = 224

As x^2 - 5x + 6 can be expressed as (x - 2)(x - 3) we need to check if (x - 2)(x - 3) = |x - 2| * |x - 3| or (x - 2) (x - 3) is +ve; Statement 1: x > 2, Hence (x - 3) is >= 0 but (x - 2) < 0, hence insufficient; Statement 2: x > 3 , Hence both (x - 2) and (x -3) > 0. Hence sufficient. Answer is B

Is x^2-5x+6 = |x-2|*|x-3|?

Is x^2-5x+6 = |x-2|*|x-3|?

For this to be true in RHS both the mods should open with the same sign.

Analizing choices.

(1) x>2

If we look at it closely. If x>2 then |x-2| will open with a positive sign.
But dont know anything about the sign of |x-3|. If 2<x<3 then this will be negative but if x>3 then it will be positive.

(2) x>3

We can clearly see thatboth mods will open with positive sign.
Hence this statement is suff to answer this question.

Hence (B) is the suspected correct answer per my logic.
